Need a good restaurant suggestion in Venice, a good club in Boston, or just some general tips anywhere else? Asknative provides a global iPhone-based community that can answer your questions before and while you're traveling.

To start, you just get the free asknative app, sign in via your Twitter account, and ask any questions you want. If you know the answer to a question someone else posted, you can answer. But beyond just providing a place to share information on a global network, asknative will help you translate text so you can communicate even if you don't speak the language. It's also really easy to sort by location and type of question. You can search, too. The app comes with several useful features for when you're traveling, too, like a special mode to avoid excessive data consumption (in the event you're on a limited plan or roaming). While you could post in a forum or just search for the answer you need, you may not always find it. Asknative provides a focused community and an app with features that can help you make the most out of your trip.
